Is there something Irish folks have moved to instead of alcohol? Over in the states, more people are using marijuana instead. But according to folks I've talked to, weed isn't super popular over there. English guy I chatted with said that stuff like coke and ecstasy is pretty common, but that's England and I also feel like that might have just been him lol

I actually go by a different name now that has a different reason to it, but that's the logic a lot of other friends stuck with, a username or game character they connect with. One of my best friends is named Ikora because of the Destiny character for instance.
Gonna do my best to avoid doxxing myself, but the name I go by now I chose for a few reasons:
- It's a traditional Irish name, I've learned in the last couple years that I'm almost completely ethnically Irish.
- It's fairly gender neutral at least by American standards, so it doesn't necessarily out me as trans while I'm still pretty early in transitioning.
- I took it from an old folk song I grew up with, so there's also personal history and ties to my family with it.
Ultimately everyone is gonna have their own reasons for the name they choose, but I've tried a couple names over the years to see which ones fit. Sometimes I've had ones that I felt a real connection to, but it felt all wrong to get called it. It's one of those things that can be a journey while you transition.
Also speaking from personal experience, the trans folks I know are delighted to explain why they chose the name the did. It's not impolite at all to ask, just so long as it's not the very first thing you ask lol.

I feel like it's probably pretty common for trans folks who spend a lot of time online. The internet was where we got to explore ourselves.

What does the G stand for tho? Edit: oh grandparent?

I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it's not a typo of OP.

I'm trans and the name I chose is based off an old username of mine because I got more used to people calling me that.
Come to think of it a lot of my trans friends did something similar.

Was about to make a post of my own asking about this feature. Would be a really useful option to have, especially for viewing stuff by hexbear users for example, where I believe including pronouns is mandatory.

I understand why Harry Potter found a place in everyone's hearts. But with the behavior of the author, the books are in hindsight a lot more mean spirited than I remembered. That hatred for me and my loved ones bled into the books quite a lot now that I can recognize it.

Looks like it. Was pleasantly surprised to see chapotraphouse posts in my feed again out of nowhere.

Not necessarily. Nonbinary covers a broad range of gender identities that don't all exclusively use they/them.

I didn't think that was a real line until I started playing last month and of course that clown would be the one to say it.

Oh wow I remember loving their work when I was on Twitter. The atmosphere with all of their pieces are so cool and unique. Shame all of their work seems basically impossible to look at without making a Twitter account 😕

I disagree. I'm not much of a Fallout fan, but I picked up New Vegas for the first time because of the show, installed the Viva New Vegas mods mentioned in another comment, and this game absolutely fucking rules.

Changing the url to sh.reddit.com lets you get around it. Been using that when I've needed to look up a reddit thread at work.

Gotcha, so maybe the sudden positive feeling about Biden is more of a reaction to that mindset to try and sway folks back to voting? That'd certainly make sense to me.
For most of act 1, fights felt reasonably difficult. There were only a few points where I had a tpk. However, between early access and now, that last fight felt like a sharp spike in difficulty. My first time through, it took me and my wife 2 days to finally cheese it. This time around it still took us 3 or 4 reloads and something I'll talk about in the spoiler section before we made it. It seems like you suddenly need to get good at really strategizing or find some extra wrinkle to make it possible. But I'm curious to hear how other folks managed to get through the fight. ::: spoiler Spoilers I had no idea until today on our third reload that you could recruit the duergar rebels to fight with you against Nere. Suddenly having an entire army of allies to help out really feels like how the fight was intended. It was only through abusing running away to long rest and have Withers res folks that we managed to take everyone on by ourselves before. I had always figured there was some weirdness in encounter balance and not that I had missed the way the fight is supposed to play out. If someone here managed to take down Nere, his followers, AND the rebels, please let me know how you pulled that insanity off. I can already tell that Act 2 is going to force me to step up my game on the strategy end of things. :::
